Man trained “army of children” for 30 terrorist attacks across London have been found guilty

Umar Haque, 25, has been found guilty of training an “army of children” to attack over 30 targets in London.

His plan was to use cars filled with explosives to strike targets like the Queen’s guards, Big Ben and courts.

He secretly trained and groomed children as young as 11.

Haque, who was not qualified but still was a teacher at independent Muslim school Lantern of Knowledge in Leyton, showed IS propaganda videos to his pupils. Where he almost managed to radicalise 110 students.

He was found guilty by member of the jury at the old bailey.

He was dragged from the dock by officers as he ranted: “You will clearly see Islamic State establish itself in the Arabian peninsula and that droughts will affect Europe and America. You will remember my warning.”

A target list written by Haque was shown to the jury, his targets included Transport of London, Westfield, Heathrow, Big Ben, Head offices of Britain First and English Defence League, City banks, Shia Muslims, The Queens Guard and Courts.

One of the youngsters later told police: “Umar has been teaching us how to fight, do push-ups, given strength and within six years he was planning to do a big attack on London.

“He wants a group of 300 men. He’s training us now so by the time I’m in Year 10 (aged 14-15) we will be physically strong enough to fight.”
